+Minimum unique abbreviation of option is acceptable.  You may use double

+space in place of the equals sign to separate an option name from its value.
+
+.UN description
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This program is part of
+.BR "Netpbm" (1)\c
+\&.
+.PP
+\fBpamchannel\fP reads a Netpbm image as input and produces a
+PAM image as output, consisting of the indicated channels (planes) of
+the input.
+.PP
+Each \fIchannum\fP argument is the number of a channel of the input,
+with the first channel being zero.  The channels in the output are in the
+order of these arguments.
+.PP
+The output is the same dimensions as the input, except that the depth
+is the number of \fIchannum\fP arguments you supply.  The tuple type
+is a null string unless you specify the \fB-tupletype\fP option.
+.PP
+This program works on multi-image streams, producing a
+corresponding output stream.  But before Netpbm 10.32 (February 2006),
+it ignored every image after the first.
+.PP
+\fBpamstack\fP does the opposite of \fBpamchannel\fP:  It takes multiple
+PAM or PNM images as input and stacks their planes (channels) on top of
+one another to yield a single PAM.
+
+.UN options
+.SH OPTIONS
+.PP
+In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm
+(most notably \fB-quiet\fP, see 
+.UR index.html#commonoptions
+ Common Options
+.UE
+\&), \fBpamchannel\fP recognizes the following
+command line options:
+
+
+
+.TP
+\fB-infile\fP \fIinfile\fP
+This specifies the input file, which defaults to Standard Input.  You
+may specify \fB-\fP to select Standard Input explicitly.
+.sp
+This is a little unconventional for Netpbm programs, which usually 
+have the input file specification as an argument.  For \fBpamchannel\fP,
+the arguments are channel numbers.
+
+.TP
+\fB-tupletype\fP \fItupletype\fP
+This specified the tuple type name to be recorded in the output.  You may
+use any string up to 255 characters.  Some programs recognize some names.
+If you omit this option, the default tuple type name is null.
